I was thinking of doing one myself. Let me know if you made it .
I like it better than the other style of quick hitch.

You wouldn't want to share pics or info of the changes you made to the impliments by any chance would you myyaz33?
I just bought a speeco hitch & it wont fit ANY of my impliments .

I will see what I can find.
NP myyaz, I dont blame you a bit for not wanting to go outside if its anything like here .
Here is the modification to the Leinbach Yard Tool. It took more cutting and welding than any of the others, but I think it worked out the best in the long run for durability.
Basically I just cut the 2 angle iron strips from the main frame and move them in (towards middle) just enough the the black arms could match up on the outside of the angle iron. Hard to explain, easy to see. Also had to notch out the angle right underneath the pin so the hitch would be able to slide under and connect.
Now after doing all that, I am ready to sell the Yard Tool because I have replaced it with a Harley Rake.

Good pics myyaz33 , thanks for taking the time to explain as well . I'll have to see if that will work for my kk boxblade I think its very similiar to your yard tool .
I cant remember why it wouldn't hook up to my disc or finish mower though . but I'm begining to think the quick hitch wasn't such a good ideal afterall though it sure dont make sense to have to take a chance of weakening the mounting points of all of my impliments to make hooking them up easier . I just happen to have a pic of my 6 1/2 foot disc on my puter so I'm posting it to compare untill I get out to the shop .

After posting the pic I dont think its worth the trouble . On the disc I put the pins to the outside but the mounting tabs are still a bit to wide & the pins are to close to the front bar . I just dont see no way to make it work without weakening the heck out of it & that disc is one heavy son ofa gun .
Yep your right myyaz , I had to look at it in the shop up close . Basiclly I just need to cut the two taps off & make new ones that are a little bit longer for more clearence between the pin & the front frame , then reweld those on the inside of the 3 point support bars . I have to dig through my iron pile .
The box blade wont be quite as simple I dont think , but I'll take a better pic afterwhile & see what you suggest is the best way to change it . I thought I had a closer pic but this is the only one I could find , before our last 2 snows . Thanks again .
